Penn’s Schlein Center for Cybersecurity is a world leader in security and privacy by design, developing innovative approaches for building systems that are secure from the ground up.
Our work is founded on three pillars
Innovative system building
tackling hard problems by designing novel systems and architectures
Mathematics and formal logic
grounding our designs in mathematics and formal reasoning to provide provable guarantees
Real-world validation
validating our ideas through realistic prototypes and data from deployed systems to ensure measurable real-world impact
Schlein Center researchers partner with experts in law, policy, economics, and health, as well as established and emerging industry leaders, to translate lab successes into real security and privacy improvements for organizations and society.
